Well, I'm unfortunately totally underwhelmed!
I thought this game promised a lot but so far the gun play feels weak and unreliable, player mobility is poor, equipment items don't seem to be nearly as tactically useful as expected and the focus on team support just isn't there.
I found myself chasing after team mates just to stay together only to get left behind again as soon as I take cover to look around and assess the area. Then its just a matter of time before the enemy finds you alone or sees you sprinting after a squad member to catch up again, either way its time to respawn!

I suppose I'll try again another day, maybe things will be different

Would be nice to even get a game going. Everytime I start the beta it freezes my ps3 at random points. Anyone else had this problem?

There seems to be a lot of moaning about GRFS at the moment, all I would say about the team work thing is the beta is less than 24hrs old. I can guess most players will be finding their feet before settling down for tactical play.

A tactical shooter is only as bad as the people you play with. I was against a right good team last night and they kicked our arse! Saying that I'm not playing seriously, I'm just running around exploring etc. 

I never take betas seriously, its not the full game and everything is going to be reset so people don't care about stats and how they play.

It's up to you to squad up with a good team if you want to play well. Randomers aren't all playing for the same reasons

But It was the first day, give it a chance

Agreed. Although if I'm totally honest I'm hoping a lot of people don't like it and the game ends up with just a few COD/BF3 people and a large part of the GR community I always find when GR is played tactically and everyone understands that's the best way to win, it's a load of fun to play.

Yup, playing it properly today and the few games I've played so was everyone else. Some people going off on their own but only to flank people which helps either to get to our objective, or creates a diversion.. The game is growing on me more and more now

The future Socom that never was

i have to be honest i am really enjoying it, wasn't expecting much but after playing a few games it's become really enjoyable.

[RONNYNS]

i have to be honest to.... i was so looking forward to this game... but i am not going to buy this now.. the first crap was the forced sign up to uplay.com(ubisoft store) to be able to play online... the second was the third person flimsy controls and camera, like its 'army of two mp' all over again... the third people are either playing team dm or sniper camp most of the time.

This game really is terrible. I'd go as far to say that it's even worse than SOCOM 4.

How do you melee?

Edit: Nevermind I found out

[SteveyC1986]

My biggest problem with the beta is how laggy it is. Every kill cam is showing people shooting way off to the side of me, or them shooting at nothing when I'm gone around the corner. This is resulting in bizzare shootouts where I shoot half a clip into someone only to die the second he shoots back.

I feel like I'm playing MW3 again.

Is anyone actually able to play this atm? Last game (out of the two) I've had was about 7 last night. Just tried again but it tells me its looking for a game but never finds one. It's like the servers are down or something.
